Chapter 1152: A Fatal Blow

The fans' expressions were even worse, all of them were stunned, as if they had been pointed. As Lineker just said, the worst situation of the year, the only mistake Ferguson made was in this game.

Of course, this is an afterthought, if United hadn't conceded three goals in a row, then it wouldn't have ended like this, but now it's so magical, they are chased by Sevilla three goals in a row.

This draw is too depressing, too wretched! It's not in line with United's style.

They thought of Dong Fangzhuo again.

The king was gone, and without the man at the helm, everything became panicked.

A lot of people are looking at Manchester United's bench, and there are many stars on the bench, but to find one star who can turn the tide? Then no, Ferguson doesn't need a midfielder now, he doesn't need a defender, he needs a scorer, but the scorers are all used up!

"Maybe Lingard should be replaced? This guy's spiritual interest could help Manchester United. ”

Lineker suggested.

But Ferguson didn't have such an idea, and when Sevilla celebrated, he called both Valencia and Ashley Young over, and Ferguson waved his arms excitedly in front of the two of them, and said something exaggeratedly, which should have told them to press the attack. Both full-backs can actually play as wingers, they were originally born to play as midfielders and wingers, and there is no problem at all, but now they need to attack more.

There was no one to replace the offensive players on the bench, so these two guys had to press up.

Beep –

The final ten minutes of the showdown! Both sides have reached the stage of life and death. Even the benches on both sides no longer sat down, all of them stood up to watch the game, and no one could sit safely, including Dong Fangzhuo, who had a feeling of fish on the chopping board, and his fate could only be handed over to his teammates.

It was already clear to Manchester United that Valencia and Ashley Young were pressing forward from both flanks, with essentially two centre-backs dragging behind. Despite the poor situation, the angry Ferguson still chose to attack rather than conservatively drag the game into extra time.

If he backs down because of that, Ferguson is not Ferguson, Manchester United is not Manchester United!

Di Maria took the ball on the left side and pushed forward at high speed, Ashley Young behind him quickly plugged in, and it was about to form a two-on-one, and Vitolo in the middle came quickly, and knocked Di Maria over with a flying tackle, and Vitolo also got a yellow card.

Sevilla's defense is resolute!

"It's a pity that King Dong is gone. The free-kick in this position was good, alas......"

People miss Dong Fangzhuo infinitely.

Five meters outside the left side of the penalty area, if Dong Fangzhuo comes to play, there is indeed a high probability of scoring, but he is on the bench, and the result is Di Maria standing in front of the ball, this position is not suitable for him to play, so it should be a tactical match.

However, for Sevilla goalkeeper Beto, it doesn't matter who stands here, the pressure is much less than before, as long as Dong Fangzhuo is not standing in front of him.

Beep

Under the surging wall, Di Maria kicked the ball, but the result was unexpected by Beto, even with his left foot, Di Maria chose to shoot! His shot went straight to the top left corner of the goal!

It's brave.

Whew, the ball flew out of the lintel, and it almost went in!

"This and this, this ......" The Sevilla fans in the stands almost had a heart attack, and it would be too painful to be killed by Di Maria at this time, but Lady Luck is still on Sevilla's side.

Sevilla clearly started to slow down after restarting the ball and managed to equalise and they became much more cautious, and it looked like Unai Emery was content with the scoreline, even if they were okay with extra-time.

But Manchester United can't! Ferguson was still waving his arms on the sidelines, motioning for his disciples to press and press and press! Sevilla kept retreating, but when Ashley Young and Valencia's speedy defenders pressed up, they were under too much pressure to stop United's attack by fouling.

In the 89th minute, United were given another chance to take a set-piece in front, only this time on the right. It was still Di Maria who took the free-kick.

"Without King Dong, a free kick would be a waste...... If he was still on the pitch, would Sevilla still dare to foul like that? So whoever you change is fine, but you shouldn't change King Dong, Ferguson is looking for guilt for himself. ”

Di Maria, who was standing in front of the ball, took a few breaths of air, calmed down, and stared at the goal behind the human wall with a pair of eyes. He also wants to be a hero, Dong Fangzhuo is not here, he, the second superstar of Manchester United, should stand up and solve the problem.

Bang –

Hit the top right corner of the goal with your left foot!

The expected shot was the best angle for a left-footed player.

As with the shot just now, the ball flew off the line almost at the angle between the crossbar and the post.

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

"I can't stand it! It's a little bit worse! ”

"Di Maria is not going to score, both shots are just a fraction of a second."

"If you press it down a little more, the ball will go in, if it's Dong, this ball will definitely hit the goal frame."

Once again, Sevilla escaped.

When stoppage time came, the fourth official held up a sign showing only 2 minutes of extra time, and it looked like it was really going to overtime.

Ferguson and Unai Emery have both returned to the dugout and are working on extra-time.

Sevilla goalkeeper Beto slowly picked up the ball from the side of the pitch, and did not kick the ball out in a hurry, and did not kick the ball out twice in a row.

The referee walked up to him and showed him a yellow card, and the delay was so obvious that even the fans in the stands couldn't stand it, and immediately sent a huge boo.

As a result, Beto's big foot kicked the ball was stopped by Rojo in the backfield, Rojo immediately distributed the ball to the right side, Valencia took the ball and played a one-two with Mata, and continued to plug in at high speed!

Bang –

Banega's figure slammed sideways into him, and Valencia was knocked into the air, slamming his whole body on the billboard.

Banega received a yellow card and United's attack came to an abrupt halt.

When the ball is out again, regulation time is over!

Overtime!

“shi-t!”

"The Sevillans are so hateful, and in the end all these hours were spent on fouls."

'They succeeded, but don't forget, there's extra time, can they keep playing like that? I don't believe it! ”

The players on both sides dragged their tired bodies off the pitch, and the battle continued, which was not the end, and even more painful extra time was coming.

When Mata returned to the pitch, he suddenly fell to the ground and sat down, screaming and cramping!

Dong Fangzhuo rushed up to press his foot as soon as possible, and Lingard also ran over to help, but he was soon taken away by Ferguson, who wanted to use up the third substitution, and he was the only candidate.

Taking advantage of the break, Dong Fangzhuo went to talk to Mbappe.

"Killian,"

"The opponent has no stamina, now should be your biggest advantage, you are a supercar now, and they have become a classic car, you have to play a little more resolutely, take the ball a little bit calmer, and in half a second, you know how to take them out."

"Opportunities keep coming!"

"You have to keep focusing!"

"You can decide the game!"

Dong Fangzhuo's pat on the shoulder encouraged Mbappe.

Mbappe has a determined gaze, and nothing is more inspiring than the inspiration of his idol.

There was only a five-minute break, and after a short break between the two sides, extra time came.

United came on for Juan Mata and the young Jesse Lingard came on, while Sevilla had already run out of three substitutions and could not be replaced.

Beep –

Manchester United opened the ball first, and Sevilla's side still retreated from the back, and they still seemed to be playing defensive counter-attacks.

Soon they fouled again, and Immobilei pulled down Schneiderlin and also received a yellow card. It was still through foul tactics to stop Manchester United's fast attack.

Dong Fangzhuo is not there, and their fouls are really too out of line. When Dong Fangzhuo was there, where did they dare to foul casually!

The game was played intermittently, and Manchester United's attacking rhythm was not as fierce as before, after all, their physical energy was also being consumed wildly, both sides were about the same, and in the end it was mainly stable.

In the 98th minute, Schweinsteiger transferred a long pass on the left side, trying to find Lingard, but Lingard's small body couldn't fight the opponent, he didn't even touch the ball, the speed was there, but there was no body, and the opponent was completely eating experience.

Even minutes later, Mbappe in the middle also got a chance, Fellaini gave Mbappe a header in the middle, Mbappe did not use his speed to break through the opponent for the first time, but chose to get stuck in position, and distributed the ball to Di Maria on the left, Di Maria directly hit the goal with his left foot in the corner of the penalty area, but the ball was still slightly off.

At this time, Di Maria's combat effectiveness has also decreased a lot, and there is no longer the previous gallop, the speed has decreased a lot, and the shooting is also deformed.

Both sides are actually at the end of their game, but it is still United who have the initiative.

The first half of extra time soon came to an end, Manchester United was still trying to attack, Ashley Young cut in from the left and received Di Maria's diagonal ball, and then Ashley Young immediately crossed the ball into the Sevilla penalty area, Mbappe quickly shook off the Sevilla central defender and rushed to the left side of the penalty area with a left-footed volley! But Beto's position was very reasonable, and he fell straight down and pressed the ball in his arms.

At the end of the first half of extra time, the score was still 4:4 and unchanged.

There was no break in between, and the two sides were exchanging halves directly!

"Will it be a draw?"

"If it's a draw, it's going to be a penalty shootout. In the 15 minutes of the second half, it is estimated that Ferguson will not dare to press up too much. ”

'It was a really tiring game, especially for Manchester United, who had just played the Community Shield against Chelsea and then faced Sevilla in Europe.

Ferguson wanted to attack, but the players might not be able to follow the tactics to the end. Everyone's footsteps are getting heavier and heavier, except for the players who come up from the bench.

Jesse Lingard worked hard, but he didn't have many chances to get the ball on the right flank, and United's attacking tempo slowed down significantly, and they cared more about defending at the back, not particularly good chances, and not enough attacking force to invest. However, Lingard did not give up, and Ferguson asked him to come up to increase the vitality of the midfield.

In the 108th minute, Lingard almost had a chance, facing Banega head-on, Lingard decisively put the tackle, but unfortunately after breaking the ball, he was still a little anxious and wanted to stuff the ball directly to Mbappe, but the intention was too obvious, and the ball was also broken back by the Sevilla player. However, Sevilla did not attack, and still advanced slowly, which also gave Manchester United enough time to organize and defend.

The stalemate continued, and with only a few minutes left before the end of extra time, no one could help anyone. And Sevilla has played so far in extra time, and there is not even a shot on goal.

The tempo is getting slower and slower, and both sides seem reluctant to attack, both thinking about running out of time and then going to a penalty shootout......

"At that pace, the penalty shootout. The two sides seem to be playing quite well now. ”

However, in the 118th minute, it was still Lingard, who rushed from the right to the middle and pounced on Colon Deli like a ghost, but Colon Deli still passed the ball out and was not cut off by Lingard, but when the ball he passed flew to Banega, Schweinsteiger grabbed the ball in front of Banega and broke the ball!

It was perhaps Schweinsteiger's highlight of the game, as a through ball was delivered to Di Maria on the left!

Di Maria cut inside straight down the middle to get past Mariano, but he was tripped by another player on the left side of the penalty area and Koke was resolute in his foul.

Beep

Manchester United have won another set-piece in front!

22 meters from goal.

"This is another good opportunity,"

"It's still Di Maria who will take the penalty himself."

"Will Di Maria be able to seize the third chance?"

With less than two minutes to go until full-time, United were almost all pressed up, while Sevilla were all back, and Beto in front of goal felt the pressure like never before. The more you get to the last moment, the more stressful it becomes.

Di Maria hesitated for a long time in front of the ball, but finally rushed to the ball.

Bang –

Or just hit the door! But it hit the wall, his shot didn't penetrate the wall, the ball bounced back, Di Maria followed up again, and shot again!

Bang –

This time it finally broke through the human wall, and the ball went down to the right side of the goal, but Beto in front of the goal was also quite focused, and in the end he held the ball up, but the ball still didn't go in.

However, Mbappe stepped forward at high speed at this time, and there was no one around! Shoot from a small angle!

Smack-

The ball finally flew into the goal.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

"Youth is the greatest capital! Mbappe! When he started, no one had time to keep up with him, and the goal was too easy. ”

"At the last moment, Mbappe was still staring at his prey like a cheetah, and he succeeded, delivering the most lethal blow in the weakest moment of the enemy."

"Now, Manchester United are going to win the title!"
